Re: NBA .GIF thread?

I said this in that series' thread already but I will say it again. He was awarded the game ball and decided to give it to a nuggets fan who happened to be up high in the arena. I guess he could have missed the mark and hurt someone, but the arena was pretty clear by then. I hope he doesn't get punished for that.

Re: NBA .GIF thread?

Did anyone else catch at the end of that interview when Craig Sager said something along the lines of "You better hold on to that game ball."? Honestly, I thought that was why he launched it into the stands.

Re: NBA .GIF thread?

On the Amare-Battier gif, it looks like Battier got a little boost after all, by tugging on Amare's shorts.

Re: NBA .GIF thread?

This maybe belongs in the Wilt thread, but hey... it's a gif and I don't feel like searching for that thread.

Kareem's sky hook was voted by players and coaches as the most unstoppable move in basketball history. Wilt was the only man to block it. Here he blocks a righty, then a lefty. Kareem's release point on the sky hook was supposedly 12'6" and this is, of course, Wilt well past his prime at about age 35. This was in the 1971 or 1972 playoffs, and Wilt blocked 7 of Kareem's shots that game.
